The right haircut for your face type
PSA: YOU DO NOT NEED TO FOLLOW THESE RULES IF ITS NOT WHAT YOU LIKE, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO LOOK BAD IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO FOLLOW THEM. Had to get that out of the way because I know I've been told i "can't" wear certain aesthetics or that i would look ugly if it doesn't match my essence. This is not true, but matching certain elements to your essence can have a harmonious effect.

I dont agree with a lot of the things beauty continuum says but i think these hairline guidelines are pretty good

I think the best thing about essences is seeing how the same thing creates a different effect on different people.
For example
Jen has a very strong natural essence which means her features are friendly, open and relaxed being mainly composed of longer rectangular shapes. This haircut does not harmonize that well with her features and face shape and she is much more iconic in her voluminous haircuts during the run of friends.
Cameron also has some natural but she has more gamine in my opinion so this hairstyle looks very different on her. The short hairstyle matches her shortened features and amplifies this cute effect. In a hairstyle similar to rachels shoulder length cut it looks very good, but it gives a more romantic effect and plays down cameron's gamine essence slightly creating a different impression.
